Heres my configuration:
Athlon K7 600 mhz
Guillemot TNT2 Ultra
256 megs 100mhz SDRAM
Gigabyte 7IX mobo
CAT5 Ethernet card
DirectX 7A

Unreal Tourney locks up after a good ~7 mins of playing.
TFC locks about the same time
Quake3 locks a little earlier
Everquest locks up almost instantly
Quake2 does not lock

I doubt its the video card or cpu overheating, because I always feel them after lockups and I estimate they are at maybe 90 - 100 degrees farenheit

I've tried everything, if anyone knows anything please tell me or email me.
Thanks,

I had a similar problem with my xentor 32 when I first got it. After some discussion with guillemot tech people they decided the card was nfg, so I took it back, installed the replacement along with the latest drivers I could find, currently .369's from reactorcritical.com and am very happy with the xentor ever since. UT still crahes from time to time but it does that whether I am using my voodoo2 or the tnt2.Good luck, it sounds like a killer system once you iron out the bugs!

Thanks soldrout, I'm going to install those drivers from that site. If that doesnt work I'll send the card back for a new one.
